Harper is demanding what would happen if they worked for any company in Canada and were accused of the same thievery. Suspension without pay.
Only in the Senate can you steal, not show up for work, and get paid big $$$ for almost doing nothing.

The extortion is obvious. Do as we say or you're going to lose your seat in the senate. You might suggest that is OK, but extortion is extortion.
Its interesting that these threats were alleged to have come from other senators as well...clearly they must get authority from someone else though?
